I'll update it there and just cut and paste. It is the one nice thing about writing your own code. You can take it with you.Daphne Gouldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17305049560953735881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-64836163218477374302009-01-21T16:23:00.000-05:002009-01-21T16:23:00.000-05:00Hi Daphne, the blogroll can be overwhelming. Good ...Hi Daphne, the blogroll can be overwhelming. Good for you finding a way that works for your needs. When I moved my blog from blogger to wordpress, all the posts and comments were so easy to move, a push of one button, the magic button they called it, those wordpress geeks are a humorous lot. Anyway, the sidebar stuff all had to be added one item at a time. Not so hard for most of the things, but the blogroll, yikes. It was so long that I just decided to add names as people came over from blogger to wordpress and left a comment. If anyone was on the blogger list and has not come to wordpress and left a comment, they did not get transferred over. I made the switch in September and am still getting some first time comments from people who were on the blogger list. Even now the list is so unwieldy, but contains many non Blotanical bloggers. I would like to add the country for non USA blogs someday. I wish there was an easier way too.<BR/>FrancesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-80646787350077471382009-01-21T15:50:00.000-05:002009-01-21T15:50:00.000-05:00Dan, The only weirdness I've found in the Blotanic...Dan, The only weirdness I've found in the Blotanical list is when the name doesn't fit on a line it centers the whole thing. The other blogs are all left aligned. I just started using it on my blog. I don't "update it". It takes my list of favorite blogs from that site and adds them to the widget.<BR/><BR/>My other blogroll is just simple handwritten HTML/javascript code. Nothing fancy. If it has update problems I can only blame myself for messing up the code. Though I did find that blogger can eat code and spit it back out not working. It annoys me since why have a place where you can insert HTML/javascript then not accept what they write. I had versions of my drop down box that I couldn't use, because it would take my code and rewrite it to not work.<BR/><BR/>Iris, I think it is pretty easy to use too. I have to add the country of each person though. I think that would be useful. Sometimes I want to find non-US blogs and it can be hard.<BR/><BR/>I wonder if I should sort by country first then name, or name first and just put a country next to it.Daphne Gouldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17305049560953735881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-43622509942266589382009-01-21T14:03:00.000-05:002009-01-21T14:03:00.000-05:00Looks good!

I definitely prefer the drop down list rather than a fully posted list for the non-blotanicals.Irishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05517165081477969468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-4858327619206176122009-01-21T13:11:00.000-05:002009-01-21T13:11:00.000-05:00I like the blotanical widget.

My blog roll is so long it would be nice to have one that serves the same purpose yet takes up much less space.<BR/><BR/>Have you used it long enough to know if it has any update problems? I have found the blogspot blog roll has a few glitches.Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07743102355360873845noreply@blogger.com
